DHS Asks Chief Justice To Stay D.C. Circuit's Voter Database Ruling
Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed the application September 8 under docket 26A308, asking to pause the appellate ruling below.
- The fight began in the D.C. Circuit, case No. 26-5243, before reaching the high court.
- Chief Justice John Roberts, the D.C. Circuit's overseeing justice, is weighing the request alone.
- Respondents owe their answer by 4 p.m. EDT on September 15, the docket states.
Why it matters: One justice decides whether DHS reaches into the nation's voter rolls before the case is even resolved.
